1 Month appointment

The girls had their one month appointment this morning. Eleanor is 8lbs even, and 21 and 5/8 inches long!! That's a 9oz gain in the last 8 days! Violet is now 6lbs 10oz, and 21 and 1/8 inches long! That's a 10oz gain in the last 8 days! At our last appointment last week our doctor was worried about Violet because she had only gained 5oz in a week, and wanted us to increase her number of bottles. I wasn't worried at all though, and trusted my gut that she was doing already on what we were doing...so we just kept doing the same. I'm glad to see that my instinct was right!

It's funny though...we are so thrilled with their weight gains these last two weeks and they really are doing so well, but they are still so small! Lily was 8lbs 1.9 oz at birth...so both are still smaller than she was when she was born...and the girls are 5 weeks today! It's strange having a 6lb and change 1 month baby! They were just slow to start on their weight gain though, and are doing beautifully now!
